I've probably got too many knives....several lifetimes of carry:D

But, I do like to keep an eye on them and to use as many as possible. Certainly, some have proved to be a bit of a disappointment,but I believe they can be swapped and somebody else will appreciate them more.Nothing is wasted in collecting knives:thumbup:

So, what's on your Traditional radar at the moment? What are you waiting for or which knives are you brooding about?

Myself, I was SO pleased with a Queen Cutlery Muskrat in Amber Bone:no gaps,really excellent bone and snap (D2 not very keen though but,that seems to be always the case)and above all, single spring and ultra slim:thumbup: I'm after their Serpentine Jack in Amber but it seems tricky to locate. What are you after?

Regards,

I have a couple of single blade trappers on order. It seems that as time goes by I'm gravitating more towards single blade slipjoints.
 
I'm waiting on the release of a bare head trapper in genuine stag from GEC. The have begun releasing the #23s, so I am hoping that it is a matter of time.
 
Queen D2 Canoe with Birdseye maple should be here this week. My first Queen, first D2, first Canoe, and first Birdseye.
 
I'm quite interested in the super-top-secret #89 pattern being worked on at GEC right now. It's a delicious mystery. It's going to be 4" long and fairly skinny, with endcap bolsters and three blades, one of which will be a coping blade. It is supposed to be a pattern that has not been produced since 1900-1920 or so. That much is known.

I want it to be a Lobster! Bring on the lobster!

I'm also looking forward to Case's "American Workman" series in blue delrin. That will be great.
 
- The recent GEC thread got me all antsy for a toothpick so I ordered a stag version and should have it in a couple of days.
- Got a scheme in the works for an ebony Case/Bose Norfolk that may not be too much longer before it shows up.
- Got my name on the list for the 2009 BFC Barlow whenever that one gets made.
- Ordered a little hunter from Geno Denning and a small trapper from Rusty Preston back in '08 and both guys gave me a two year wait time on those.
 
I'm in the que for an ebony Norfolk Case/Bose Collaboration sometime soon I hope.
Also awaiting the BF forum knife.
My trigger finger is getting itchy so you never know what night be next!

Appreciate the help.:thumbup:

Also wildly interested in this 89 pattern from GEC, could it be a Cattle Knife?Or something called an Anglo-Saxon??

CASE/Bose Norfolk continues to interest, but not much has been said or shown about it here,odd....On the same theme, the CASE/Bose Dog-leg has always interested me.

Got an 'Old German' knife on its way from the bay, can't recall its name and it could be a rip-off but didn't cost much:D
 
I'm still deciding whether or not to get a Western-branded military "demo knife". Other than that, I had a Northfield Barlow on the way, but I fear that it's been lost, having waited over 3 weeks now for it.:(
 
Next Up (for the rest of the year + two months): In no particular order
Buck 110
GEC Whittler
Kabar
Paper Wheels
GEC # 23

(Got a sodbuster and a a Queen D2 Canoe in the mail now lol!)

After that, Ill be done gettin knives for a while. Probably save up for a Busse FFBM or Similar Busse Chopper.

Good luck, but I doubt it:D "The best laid schemes of mice&men":thumbup:
 
Waiting for the Canal Street 3 7/8" Swell Center Jack to be released.
Plus I have a custom on order from Brent Kramer (a design he hasn't done yet, so kind of a prototype).
Yay.
 
I can't wait for the Forum knife to come out. That's what I'm anxious about--It shouldn't be too long.

Waitin' for mine too, but that's paid for, I'd really like a Ken Coats Knife and it's one of the things the nickels and dimes I find under the cushions are goin' for.:)

I know some people aren't too fond of Canal Street; I've only got one (the fiddleback whittler), but I love it and definitely will order more.
